Maslow sun and rain fly. Maslow Hat

I have been planning this for a while. Roughly knocked out a try today and it works great.

Basic idea is to make a small kite inspired fly that attaches to the outsides of the maslow4 vertical supports.

Materials:

2ft by 2ft square fabric so that you can cut a diagonal square out of the center of it. Fabric can be waterproof important to cut the fabric on the diagonal so that the stick pulls along the threads of the fabric

1 Stick about 20 inches long (fiberglass, bamboo, wire, or wood dowel

1 Stick about 36 inches long

2 straws 4 to 8 inches long or tubes that the sticks can fit inside

2 zip ties or wire or string to tie the fabric to the stick

Sewing machine

Tape or more zip ties to attach the tubes to the maslow.

It seems to be a good design.

It would probably be easy to design tubes that could be three d printed that would clip on to the supports
